Hey everyone, I'm John. Founder of Painkillr. I'm sure there's a lot of you out there, like myself, who always struggle to come up with a great business idea to pursue. There's tons of "cool" or "nice to have" ideas out there, but the really successful ideas are called Painkillers. They aim to solve real paint points individuals and businesses experience. I decided to create a platform that...

Hey everyone, John here 👋 I originally built and launched findcool.tools in September 2022, and it did quite well. 👊 I'm back with a 2.0 version that I think will be better for all the tools that end up on the platform. I've decided to take the platform in a premium-only direction. What does this mean? It means that you will need to pay a small monthly fee to be listed on the platform. ❓...

I’m a dev at a consultancy on the optimization team I write all the a/b test code for our clients and we launch on various platforms like ab tasty, dynamic yield, optimizely, etc Nice to see a Google optimize alternative pop up. I really liked their platform.

very solid list. nothing i'd add. these are the things i've done across recent launches and found them to work very well. findcool.tools received #3 Product of the Day my previous launch received #2 Health/Fitness Product of the Month i didn't do a lot of these for my first launch and ended up placing 63rd

This is insane. Amazing job! So many great resources packaged into this. This would be a killer addition to findcool.tools

i've been trying a bunch of different things for findcool.tools main ones i've had success with have been twitter and reddit.

seems counter-intuitive, but working out always wakes me up after a long day of work.

have a bunch, but favorite finance app for the last few months has been PocketGuard

i wanted to help people find cool SaaS tools, so i named my project something pretty creative...findcool.tools

really fell off a cliff lol not going to lie, had fun with it for the first few days, but that quickly wore off.

awesome product. icons/assets look really good. i'll have to dive in some more and check them out. could probably use some across https://findcool.tools (my project lol)

Hey everyone, I'm John - maker of findcool.tools 👋 I wanted to create a space to showcase all the cool tools I come across on a daily basis, mostly from the indie-hacking and build in public community. One issue I've noticed when visiting other tool directories is information overload. There are oftentimes 100's of tools and I don't have the time to sift through all of them to see if any could...
